    I think people really misunderstand how differently people are affected by things. Putting drugs aside, people can have completely different reactions to regular food or mundane environmental conditions like dust and humidity.

    I know a lot of people that enjoy cannabis and if you go one at a time and ask them what they enjoy about it, you get a huge variety of answers. Some of the things people say the get from it will be directly contradicting other things that other people say they get from it.

    “It calms me down!” vs “it gets my creative juices flowing” “It settles my stomach” vs “it makes me nauseous” “It makes boring stuff exciting!” Vs “it makes me content doing nothing.” And a thousand other reactions people have to it.

    For some people pot gives them anxiety attacks, for other people pot eliminates their anxiety attacks. I think it’s foolish to expect people to have the same or even similar experiences as each other when consuming substances.

    I know plenty of people that don’t like grapefruit, I love that shit. You do you!
